Altering an Encrypted Password for a Replication Server
Change an encrypted password in a
Replication Server configuration file using rs_init.
Use a text editor to change
passwords in the configuration file if password encryption is not enabled.
Note: This task does not apply to the passwords stored in the
RSSD. To change the Replication Server password, use the alter user
command. To change the maintenance user password, use alter connection
or alter route.
Log in as the “sybase” user and change to the Sybase installation directory.
Start rs_init. Enter:
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_REP/install/rs_init
You see the RS_INIT menu.
Select Configure a Server Product.
Select Replication Server.
Select Alter a Replication Server Configuration File Password.
Enter:
Name of the Replication Server whose configuration file you
want to update.
Login name for the Replication Server “sa” user.
Password for the Replication Server “sa” account.
Full path name for the Replication Server configuration file.
Parameter for the password you want to alter:
RSSD_primary_pw_enc – for the RSSD primary user.
RSSD_maint_pw_enc – for the RSSD maintenance user.
ID_pw_enc – for the ID Server user name.
New password you want to use.
Press Ctrl+A to save your changes. rs_init displays:
Execute the Replication Server tasks now?
Enter “y”.
rs_init shuts down the Replication Server, then records the new password
in the Replication Server configuration file. When that process is
complete, rs_init shows:
Configuration completed successfully.
Press Return to continue.
Press Return. You see the Configure Replication System screen.
